Better After All
Words & Music by Jonatha Brooke

Notes:
Jonatha says the tuning is:
Tuning: CGDGBbD + 3-string capo on the 5th fret
However, I am wondering if the Bb should really be a B, because Bb makes
the tuning sound like a minor key and the song is in a major key, so
I used the tuning of
CGDGBD
- i.e., I changed the Bb of the second string in Jonatha's tuning to B.
One other thing that I do not know is to which three adjacent strings is
the three-string capo applied?
For this transcription I applied it to strings 2,3,4 (B,G,D), so that the
final tuning is:
CGGCED
VG-8 pitches: -2 5 5 0 -2 -4 (left to right, highest to lowest strings)
I have given only the basic patterns.
